IMPORTANT NEW WORKS ON ENTOMOLOGY. 151 



3. Melitcea Selene and Euphrosyne. It would be very 



desirable to ascertain, with certainty, whether either 

 of these species occur in the autumn. 



4. Argynnis Lathonia. Continental Entomologists can 



surely at once decide whether there are one or two 

 broods of this in the year. 



5. Vanessa C. Album. Has not occurred near Lon- 



don for many years : where is it now met with ? 



6. Hipparchia Semele. " It forms a cocoon in the 



earth, according to M. Marlov :" having seen the 

 naked suspended pupa, as figured by Mr. West wood, 

 we suppose M. Marloy must have been quizzing 

 him. 



7. Hipparchia Tithonus. Does the larva of this species 



feed on the Hieracium Pilosella ? 



8. Oreina Ligea. If this be really a British species, 



why does not some enterprising Scotchman re- 

 discover it? 



9. Thecla Quercus. A writer in " Loudon's Magazine 



of Natural History" states " that the caterpillar of 

 this species goes underground to effect its trans- 

 formations:" surely there is some error of obser- 

 vation here; can any one confirm this statement? 



10. Thecla Rubi. Is there a second brood of this spe- 



cies in August ? 



11. Polyommatvs CEgon. Is not this common on 



moors in the North of England ? 



12. Cyclopides Paniscus. Is there not a brood of this 



in July or August ? 



13. Pamphila Comma. Is there not a brood of this 



in May? And the same remark may apply to 

 P. Linea, and probably also to P. Actceon ; but 

 who ever makes excursions into Dorsetshire so 

 early in the year?
